> unpaid _private_ debt?

Child support is not private debt, it's court ordered debt.

It's actually considered one of the highest of all types of debt. It can even take precedence over IRS debt, which is otherwise the debt with the highest precedence.



That’s what I was asking. The word debt in the title is pretty intentional click bait; there are many better words that could describe the issue in a far more precise manner for a headline.
